competition playlists..

[Jon Abad]

Hey gang...

I'm in charge of AV and whatnot (miscelanous items, not the T190 mascot ) for BattleCry 2 and I was wondering what you'd like to hear... We all know that there are those songs that we know and love as FIRST Competition songs...

I know we've all talked about this before but this is a chance to directly affect the playlist for BC2... so...
What would you like to hear? What has to be played?

Let me know...

i would suggest ac-dc's 'big balls', but everyone was playing that at their pits at all the other competitions so its sort of lost its originality/humor

[ColleenShaver]

You've gotta play Jellyhead! Cause they didn't except @ the party in LongIsland.. and it was definitely what we talked about the whole way there.

Tony Basil's "Mickey" for our very own Timmy Baird

The techno mix of the Hamster Dance for WhatNot

Lynard Skynard's "Sweet Home Alabama" cause it reminds me of Kuli & FIRST

"Wild Wild West" for Kato

And 'Ready to Go' by Republica..

Hahaha.. you should just play all of those, regardless of who they are for though.

Woohoo... I know 'DJ Ed' so I can harass him now about what to play!!

[Matt Leese]

It wouldn't be a FIRST Competition if I didn't hear "We Like to Party".....

Matt who heard "We Like to Party" at every single match at Nationals in 2000

[Jessica Boucher]

Definetley "Big Balls, "We like to party", and "Ready to go"...and "Cotton Eyed Joe"...and all the others suggested

I'd like to add "People of the Sun" by Rage...trust me, you will never see a bunch of guys more pumped up over a song....

Also, the "Discovery Channel" song by Bloodhound Gang....ask anyone on 237 to teach you the "happy dance" to join in on line dancing at its best

Also..."Mambo No. 5" and "Jump Jive n Wail" and "My Sharona" and I think its called "The Rockafella $@#$@#$@#$@#$@#" by Fatboy Slim ("Right about now...the funk soul brother", you know, that song )...and "I like to move it, move it" (I have no idea what the name of that song is).....and "twenty twenty four hours to go.....I wanna be sedated"

If youre wondering how I found all these, I just basically scrolled through my "UTC 2000" tape and picked the ones I liked (or I could name)

lol, Jon is on IT staff (Sorry, bad joke)

"The Sie-H2O-Bots are coming...and all of Worcester's jumping...we're here to start a party, and get a little rowdy....the wheels of FIRST are turning, and robot gears are burning.....so if you like to party, come on & move your body"

[Justin]

COTTON EYED JOE (THE REAL VERSION)!!!!!

Mutiple Times!!

[Joel J]

Throw a little Daft Punk in there......get things started right.

[mike o'leary]

have you ever seen the movie office space? know the scene when they take the copier out to the field and beat the crap out of it? its called 'gangster trippin' and you have to play it

also:
green day - brain stew
disturbed - shout 2000
blink 182 - all the small things
house of pain - jump around
american hi-fi - flavor of the weak
sr-71 - politically correct
opm - heaven is a halfpipe
beastie boys - fight for youre right; or - paul revere; or - no sleep
till brooklyn
rancid - lady liberty


actually you dont have to play any of those, i just started listing some of my favorite songs and was indesisive in my listing...i could go on but ill spare you

mike who spends way too much time listening to music

[Todd Derbyshire]

Whatever happened to Queen "We Will Rock You" that song has to be played by at any sporting event that involves competition. Also I would suggest some techno from the chemical brothers and my personal favortie and I know I'm getting hissed at for this but Nelly "Ride with Me."

[Matt Leese]

"We Will Rock You" was even played at jousts! So it's been played at almost ALL sporting events....

Matt who went with his cousin to see "A Knight's Tale" because, well, she wanted to see it and he was bored.....

[ColleenShaver]

Hey Jon!

Get some old school Bon Jovi.. i.e. 'Shot Through the Heart'

I love that song

And of course.. Cake's 'Sheep Go To Heaven' for your very own T190

[Tim Baird]

I've sat back long enough watching you guys put up the obvious songs. Time for the good stuff. Why listen to the same stuff you've heard for years at the FIRST comps when you can hear equally good songs that FIRST hasn't caught on to? With this in mind, might I suggest the ska rendition of "Come on Eileen" by Save Ferris? If you haven't heard this yet, log on to napster or whatever you use and find it asap. Also, we've all failed to mention "Mony Mony" by Billy Idol. Hey colleen, i think that we should just play the song and not sing along like at the CHS dances, there might be little kids around. On the same little kid note, do you think that we're all mature enough to hear "Hash Pipe" by Weezer, and my personal favorite "Buddy Holly".
Just some suggestions. Now for me to sound cocky. I can and will have all of these songs played by "DJ Ed" because he still owes me big time for not getting Reel Big Fish for quadfest this year, and for not inviting me last year.

[Tim Baird]

Not to rag on Mike O'leary for his above statement, but i would just like to clarify the music regarding the scene where they kicked the crap out of the copier in office space. That song is called "still" by the geto boys, and for reasons of their "vernacular" you might say, that songs should never be played at a FIRST comp for legal reasons. However, gangster tripping by fat boy slim is a very good song and I will second the motion to play it.

PS-Sorry if I sounded like I was lecturing, I just wanted to prevent a catastrophe. Watch the movie again and you'll understand why

[Jon Abad]

its a good thing i've seen the movie...
